Brienne of Tarth vs the Hound
YouTube video by Swordfight Night Brienne of Tarth vs the Hound

All the cutting in this scene suggests the actors are not great with fight choreography, but they are similar in stature and are at least made to look equally matched.

Not recommending GAME OF THRONES, but Brienne of Tarth comes to mind here…

Looked at his Instagram, and there is an email address in the header for commissions. So…

Another way to put might be that Vigil makes art outside of formal commercial constraints, & what you see is simply what he likes to draw, & he knows from experience that there are folks who are ready, willing, & able to purchase whatever he comes up with, thereby providing him with an income.

My impression is that they’re essentially personal/self-assigned, skill-building/-demonstrating projects/homages intended for sale. But I don’t know for sure. Some might be commissions.

I’m absolutely delighted to be nominated by Robert E. Howard fans for the The Rankin Award, for Artistic Achievement, in the 2026 Robert E. Howard Awards, for my story “Tattered Wings,” in The Savage Sword of Conan #11. Completely unexpected. :-)

Jim Carrey got surgery and looks weird? First I’ve heard of it, but sad, if true. Will touch snow and ice later today.

I hate it when the radio announcer says, “It’s a sunny, woodsy day in Lumberton, so get those chainsaws out. There’s a whole lotta wood waitin’ out there, so let’s get goin’,” and I have neither a chainsaw in hand nor a forest stand to spare.
